More points for it not leaving you dissatisfied throughout the book and making you fully satisfied at the end ;) Love the review!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00343758249538361290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1019785638850450889.post-14838827677269751592013-10-04T06:08:58.240+01:002013-10-04T06:08:58.240+01:00If you're tired of this same old NA, Siiri, I&...If you're tired of this same old NA, Siiri, I'm sure this would be a win for you.

You're always good at picking these out for me, Rachel! I trust your favorite romance suggestions. I love that this has a little bit of a Pride and Prejudice feel, just in how these two judge each other immediately - though I'm also glad that it's not a retelling. Everything about this one makes me want to pick it up ASAP! Can't wait for it to release.

I'm so tired of the same old formula, that's why I'm reading YA right now. More original for sure. I'm dying for originality and something different right now. Ha, Lisa always reads great romance and I'm glad to call her a friend on GR too. She's so fun to talk to and I'm glad you enjoyed her recommendation :)Siirihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18265532869057616598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1019785638850450889.post-13760619317910167092013-10-02T15:35:10.579+01:002013-10-02T15:35:10.579+01:00Wonderful review.

Because I do. The above anecdote seals the deal because that is so something I would do. And Kevin would know what was happening too and then just shake his head at me, mutter something about Kate Beckinsale (his dream girl), and then walk away. So. Much. Win.<br /><br />BUT, back to this story. This sounds like exactly what I'm looking for in NA right now. Like you, I could use a few more stories that aren't quite so angst ridden and have a bit more humor than drama in them. Adding this to the list for sure!<br /><br />Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14199685365145765394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1019785638850450889.post-81025222763965843252013-10-02T13:38:30.947+01:002013-10-02T13:38:30.947+01:00I added it to my TBR list because of your review, ...I added it to my TBR list because of your review, Rachel - absolutely amazing.:) <br />I loved that part about biker fantasy and your husband - I have same thoughts all the time.:)))Glasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03750441600543024341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1019785638850450889.post-89576712332374342352013-10-02T13:22:45.285+01:002013-10-02T13:22:45.285+01:00Holy cow, I love those stories that give you the w...Holy cow, I love those stories that give you the warm fuzzies all the way through!
